Introduction
Taverley is home to the druids of Gielinor
These worshippers of Guthix are close to nature and will not willingly do anything to disrupt the natural order. They are all gifted herbalists, skilled in the preparation of many oils, unguents and potions mixed from a range of special herbs and weeds.
Taverley itself is composed of buildings in odd shapes, more reminiscent of tents than houses.
The town also boasts a mightily impressive stone circle, where the druids gather to worship Guthix.
Location
Taverley's location
Taverley lies in Asgarnia's north-west, pinned between Falador to the southeast and Burthorpe to the north.
West across White Wolf Mountain is the town of Catherby, where many adventurers pause to work on their Fishing.
Just south of the town, its entrance hidden in a forest of dead trees, is the ominous and deadly Taverley Dungeon.
Points of Interest
Taverley's points of interest
Turael, the budding slayer's entry point, resides in the south-eastern side of the town, ready to send adventurers out banshee-bashing, and other such activities. He will be also be the point of contact if Slayer missions prove too difficult.
The stone circle, north of the town, is not just for decoration, or for the druids to pay their respects - there is an altar to Guthix there which adventurers may pray at to restore some divine favour.
There is also a house portal for those who have chosen to make Taverley their home.
The Pick and Lute also hosts the Flash Powder Factory activity in its basement.
